Gregory was released by the Patriots in February after playing 26 games with the team over the last two seasons. Gregory started 23 of those games, recording 116 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Eric Berry left Chiefs practice early on Thursday with an ankle injury, although coach Andy Reid and others have downplayed the severity of the injury since Berry was removed from the field. Sanders Commings had ankle surgery on Thursday, however, and that absence could stretch a bit longer.

Even with everyone healthy, Gregory would be a viable competitor with Husain Abdullah for the starting spot next to Berry. He’ll get the chance to win that job over the next month or so.

pats only released him because he had a 3.6 million dollar cap hit, and the chiefs offered more than the vet minimum he could have gotten elsewhere. heard on the internets that he was in the process of signing elsewhere when the chiefs called his agent. great signing that adds some experience and stability to the depth chart at S.

it says a lot when the Pats don’t resign Gregory but bring back Patrick Chung

How about it. I wish Gregory good fortune, I liked how he was willing to put his beak into it, but he’s probably a 3rd or 4th safety in reality.

I’m amazed Bill went with Chung. The Philly fans sounded ready to go torch and pitchfork on the guy.
